Playful

Photo of a tall Norfolk Island pine tree leaning to the side, but growing upwards.

Leaning to the side,
putting branches out of line—
a childish pine tree.

Comfort

Photo of a person walking into the sea, on a sunny day at the beach.

We all seek comfort:
human heads towards water;
ocean comes ashore.

Land rights

Close up photo of the trunk of a Moreton Bay fig tree.

Prime real estate;
fig stands tall and down to earth,
reclaiming her place.

Ironic

close up photo of a ocean marker at a beach, inscribed with the words, "permanent mark, penalty for interference, survey office of Queensland"

“Permanent marker;
penalty if interfered,”
says an invader.

Shine

Panoramic photo of a large tree, with sunlight shining through the branches.

Deep in the forest,
a goddess stands majestic,
sun shines through branches.
